If not, you have not been a very responsible reporter on this story.<br /><br />Rather than being so quick to make a judgement because of an outside source's information for a cheap laugh, you should have done some investigation on your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-73602950003862570822009-10-22T08:34:50.504-07:002009-10-22T08:34:50.504-07:00Looking at the age of the building I suspect a ram...Looking at the age of the building I suspect a ramp exists. <br /><br />This does highlight how things can be skewed a cropped picture. <br /><br />This reminds me of a similar one with a fitness club that has an escalator going to the entrance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-27162450627647737362009-10-22T06:42:53.790-07:002009-10-22T06:42:53.790-07:00I'm with Mike (and also a teacher of students ...I'm with Mike (and also a teacher of students with disabilities), give us the entire picture then we'll judge. Many of these buildings were built before there were laws and ramps were made/added afterwards. Perhaps they are getting the building at a large discount or something and it just "worked" for their organization.
